Consumers' and health providers' views and perceptions of partnering to improve health services design, delivery and evaluation: a co-produced qualitative evidence synthesis.

Background: Partnering with consumers in the planning, delivery and evaluation of health services is an essential component of person-centred care. There are many ways to partner with consumers to improve health services, including formal group partnerships (such as committees, boards or steering groups). However, consumers' and health providers' views and experiences of formal group partnerships remain unclear.

Preclinical target validation for non-addictive therapeutics development for pain.

Introduction: The Helping to End Addiction Long-term Initiative supports a wide range of programs to develop new or improved prevention and opioid addiction treatment strategies. An essential component of this effort is to accelerate development of non-opioid pain therapeutics. In all fields of medicine, therapeutics development is an arduous process and late-stage translational efforts such as clinical trials to validate targets are particularly complex and costly.

The beneficial role of companion animals in translational pain research.

The use of spontaneous painful disease in companion pet animals has been highlighted as one of the changes that could be made to help improve translation of basic science to new therapeutics, acting as a bridge between preclinical and clinical studies, with the goal of accelerating the approval of new therapeutics. This review focuses on the utility of companion pet dogs for translational research by reviewing what outcome measures can be measured, and importantly, the relevance of these outcome measures to human translational research. It also details the practical considerations involved in incorporating companion dogs into human therapeutic development.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Development of an ACEs Knowledge Scale.

Background And Purpose: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) negatively impacting children's health and later in their lives warrant necessity to educate nursing students about ACEs. The purposes of this study were to evaluate (a) nursing students' understanding of key concepts of ACEs using the ACEs Knowledge Scale (AKS) and (b) psychometric properties of the AKS.

Methods: A survey using AKS was conducted with randomly selected student participants ( = 344) to evaluate students' understanding of ACEs knowledge.

Adverse Childhood Experiences: Concept Mapping in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Curriculum.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have deleterious effects on health across the lifespan. Educating health professionals for ACEs awareness and prevention facilitates quality care. Literature documents concept mapping as an effective teaching strategy used in health professions to stimulate learning and foster students' critical thinking.

Integration of Adverse Childhood Experiences Across Nursing Curriculum.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) devastate the lives of children, families and the community. Nearly 35 million children in the United States (US) have experienced one or more types of childhood trauma and nearly a third of youth between ages 12 and 17 have experienced two or more traumatic events. Adverse childhood experiences place an economic toll in the U.
